In Ruby there is no "correct" or incorrect way, there are different paths to achieve the same or similar results. What you're reading is a reference to FXRI, which was part of One- Click Installer, but is no longer part of the newer installer, which are lean packages around vanilla ruby. If you copied or extracted an independent package (no installer) then is logical you will not have menu to look for options. If you install RubyInstaller, any of the versions, you can click "Interactive Ruby" and you will be able to use IRB. Or from the command line, just call "irb" -- Luis Lavena

You *can* get an install that uses the registry (and hence can't be moved) over at rubyinstaller.org. The package I gave you isn't like that. -r -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

This installed tcl 8.5. On command line if I I need the messages at ext/tk step of "make". -- Hidetoshi NAGAI (nagai(a)ai.kyutech.ac.jp) Department of Artificial Intelligence, Kyushu Institute of Technology

Since there's no "right" or "wrong" way then how am I supposed to know what to do? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

What does that mean? You ran the Ruby installer to create a directory tree on windows, then copied "◦Ruby/Tk environment" to the "appropriate directory" (whatever that is) then gave a copy of the whole resultant directory tree to me? What is the "appropriate directory"? If you use explicit paths it would be a lot easier for me to understand. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. |
